What may thy sorrow thy watch availa

The tender gaze and strong, like dewy fire,
The gracious form with airs of Heaven bedight
The love that warmed thy being like sun;
Thou hadst thy choice of MONDAY of night,
Now the swart shadows gather, one by one,
To give thee thy desired
To every life one heavenly chance befalls;
To every soul moment. big with fate,
When. grown mportunate with need and fear,

The voice Celestial answers. Il am here!"
Oh, blessed souls. made wise to understand
Made bravely glad to wait
But thou pale watcher on the lonely shore,
Where the surf thunders and the foam bells fly,

No saving grace in thy all piteous ruel

Alas, the SWAMI wings vanish in the blue
There cometh reply!

NEW YORK, April 30-Sitting in her eozy
suite of apartments Eighteenth street. Mrs
Elizabeth Custer spoke enthusiastically of the
pleasure of her trip to southern California, from
which she has just returned.
Il went solely for rest and recreation," she
said, ..beng tired out with work upon my book,
and was there only month. But cannot
speak too warmly of the benefits to be enjoyed
by even so short journey. The country is
more beautiful and the climate more delightful
than any ideas of it may have formed from
printed descriptions"
..Did you find every place very much crowded."
Yes The whole country seemed simply to
swarm with tourists Nothing like it has ever
been known there before. There were numbers
of people with invalids. and [ many of

Verses by Meredith Nicholson.

I think it were better that lips should forever be

Than atterng the voice should sound or the speech
irresolute.
And better that arrows fly far past the mark,
shot
Than but timdly sent they should droop and transfx

The should be vigorously pushed. though
the start,
And always, wherever assigned let act we'll the
part;
Let firm be the footstep to tally with firm beat of
heart. ea-
But more willing am forever to steadily plod
Inspired by thoeght that my soul is not linked to
clod
Than failing in fight to fall stricken again to the sod
To stumble along in the pathway that leads me to
God.
TIE MIDAS TOUCH.
Were endowed as Midas of DID,
With wondrous withdrawing power, such
As caused all things beneath his magic touch
To be transformed into the rarest gold,
until he went where storied Pactolus rolled
And, bathing, lost the power which gave Ter much
OF yellow metal to his mser clutch,
According to the ancient story told;
My prayer should ask the altering of the gift
That might cause all words to be gemmed
With thoughtfulness that never would drift
Beyond the portal of the lips to throw
shadow, but each would have power to lift,
And truth assume undying golden glow.

That Insmrnncc nnnaIc.

Sam Loar and l. c. RalphSuyder,
Esq, are disputing over some insu-
rance money, and the dispute bids
fair to end in law suit. The Home
Insurance Co, of New York, held a
risk Of 81 500 on Loar's hotel which
burned last February, They refused
at first to pay the risk and Loar
brought suit against the company.
The matter has been resting in court
since, and the attorneys on each side
have been trying to effect an agree
able compromise. Becoming dissat
listed by the slow manner in which
the matter was being adjusted. Loar
took Ralphsnyder into the case, and,
as he says, sent him out to Parkcrs-
burg TO see the general agent Of the
company. Ralphsnyder came back
and stated he could settle the claim
by accepting $500, Loar told him
To go ahead and DO SO, which Ralph.
snyder did, and gave Loar $3.50.
keeping $50 which Loar agreed To
pay him for his services. Everything
went rs scrcncly as May morning
for several days, when, on some &C.
count, Loar began TO suspicion that
all was not right about the settle
ment which Ralphsnydcr had maze,
and he went out TO Parkershurg to
see what had been done. He found,
to his sorrow, that Mr.. II. had re
ceivcd 5000 and he came back n
mad man and proposes, he says, to
make, things hot for Ralphsnyder.
Ralphsnydcr's story of the matter
is very much different from Loar's
and is about as follows: Loar seemed
discouraged about the matter and
thought he would get nothing from
the compuny. He (Ralphsnyder)
thereupon offered Loar $3.50 for his
claim against the Home Company
which offer Loar accepted. taking
RalpEsnyder's note, with security,
for the amount above named. Ralph.
snyder then went to Parkersburp.
received 5000, came back and lifted
his note, having made $3.50 in the
transaction. He claims to have pur.
chased the claim at risk, not know.
ing what he could get.
This is the shape the dispute is in.
and 1T will, no doubt, have TO be set.
